Chrome OS
Chrome isn't like Android on a phone — it's the exact same on every Chromebook (or Chromebox). That makes things a lot easier when buying a new Chromebook because you won't have to make any decisions about the software. The most inexpensive model can do everything its hardware supports in the very same way the most expensive model can. Hardware support can make a difference, though, because things like a 180-degree flippable screen or a specialized pen bring options along with them and if your Chromebook can't flip over to be a tablet or doesn't include a pen (bundled or as an optional purchase) you won't see any special software to use one.
One other place that this software "sameness" matters is when you are buying a Chromebook. Chrome automatically updates and the new software comes directly through Google regardless of who made your Chromebook. With support lasting five years, you won't have to buy the newest model to have the latest software. That can mean big savings, and we all love big savings.
Thankfully, Chromebooks come in a wide range of hardware configurations that support every budget. What you need to do before you buy is decide why you need a Chromebook and how you're going to use it.
